Pizza and Pasta

from £195.00

Pizza and Pasta, our Italian cookery course is the chance to Immerse yourself in Italian cuisine, with a day of fresh, handmade pasta and pizza at the River Cottage Cookery School.

Our Pizza and Pasta course is a celebration of Italy’s most beloved carbohydrates. This Italian cookery course is a brilliant day of learning, exploring and eating, set against the quintessentially British backdrop of River Cottage HQ.

Using homegrown and locally-sourced ingredients, you’ll learn how to make fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza and delicious sauces from scratch. You’ll start with great pizza dough and a selection of organic toppings to make your lunch, then move on to craft fresh pappardelle and ravioli, gorgeous sauces and pesto. And of course, you’ll finish the day with a hard-earned feast.
